I know it's a little late for the answer, but I recently had to face the same error.  This happened to me, as in the other cases, when changing Telerik version from 2012 to 2015.

I have a DropDownList that when the SelectedIndexChanged event is fired, it fills the radTreeView with a DataSet.
This error NEVER happened to me when clicking on the treeview node the FIRST TIME, it ALWAYS happened to me when selecting another DropDownList item (AT THE SECOND TIME) and then clicking on any TreeView node.

After switching VisualStudio versions and .Net Framework versions and changing nothing at all, we made a seemingly insignificant change:

We placed this couple of lines of code BEFORE assigning the DataSource of the radTreeView:

radTreeView1.DataSource = Nothing
radTreeView1.Nodes.Clear()

 

And VoilĂ , it works!!!

Now, every time I change items in the DropDownList, I "reset" the database connection and clear the radTreeView nodes.

Sincerely, I hope this helps others.

Hello,

I haven't been able to replicate your issue. Please could you post a small exmaple here (using the code formatting block) in full (no outside datasources) that will replicate the issue.
Thanks

Please see the attached files. Here is the full text of error, you can see all assemblies here. Also I can email you project with referenced assemblies, if it helps.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for writing us back.

I managed to reproduce this issue. In my previous tests I used the wrong version - Q3 2011 2.11.831. This issue appears in version Q3 2011 SP1 3.11.1219. However, I am glad to inform you that the issue is addressed in Q1 2012 which we have just released and which is available at your account.

If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Jack

Tried 2012 Q1 SP1 yesterday. The treeview now loads initially, but still eats a parameter when a child node is clicked. This is using the exact same code base that has a working treeview in 2011 Q2 SP2. We're rolling out this application in four weeks, so I do not have time to track down a root cause, find a workaround or create a sample project to reproduce the behavior.
